Heart and vascular conditions are complex, and they require the highest levels of technology and skill. One of the most important innovations in vascular and cardiac treatment is endovascular therapy. Your cardiologist can tell you more. Dr. Pradip Baiju at Heart and Vascular Care provides a wide range of cardiology services, including endovascular treatment. He has several convenient office locations in Orlando, Longwood, Kissimmee, and Orange City, FL.
How Endovascular Treatment Can Help You
Endovascular treatment uses a long, thin tube that is placed in a vein or artery in the arm, neck, or groin. The tube is then guided up into the treatment area. The tube can contain a tiny camera for viewing or tools to perform treatment. The procedure takes about two hours to complete.
Endovascular treatment may be recommended to perform these types of surgeries:
- Angioplasty, to help widen arteries that are narrowed due to disease
- Stent placement, to help keep a blocked artery open
- Closing holes and other structural defects in your heart
- Repairing or replacing compromised or leaking heart valves
- Balloon valvuloplasty, using a balloon to widen narrowed valves
- Ablation, to treat abnormalities in heart rhythm
Endovascular treatment is performed using small incisions and has many important advantages when compared to conventional open surgery. Consider that endovascular surgery:
- Has a much easier and faster recovery
- Requires far less downtime
- Has a reduced risk of complications, including infection
- Is much less invasive, allowing you to return to work within two weeks
Endovascular treatment is an excellent alternative to open surgery, especially if you are at high risk and want to avoid the downtime and discomfort of open surgery. You owe it to yourself to find out if endovascular surgery can help you.
